The PlotGoals
I can name my goals, but I don’t feel connected to them
Dear Delyara, If someone asked what my goals are, I could answer. That’s the strange part. I know the words. I know the category. I know what I’m “working toward.” But lately the emotional connection to those goals feels weak, like I’m carrying a map drawn by an older version of me who wanted with a different kind of energy. I don’t know whether this means I’ve changed, or whether I’m just tired, or whether disappointment has blurred the original feeling that once made those goals feel alive. All I know is that it’s unsettling to move forward while feeling less certain that the direction still belongs to you.
